Car Profiles - Tata Indica

TATA INDICA

The hatchback version of the Indigo sub-compact, the Indica has the same engine but different suspension and equipment specifications (it has airbags and ABS brakes). Aiming for the fleet buyer and the Mirage/Grand i10 buyer, you'll be happy with the fuel savings afforded by this car.

The Good: Diesel burner comes standard

The Bad: Worrisome aftersales support 

Price Range: P545,000
